BUTADRYL SYRUP 100 ML

How BUTADRYL SYRUP 100 ML Works

• Butamirate acts centrally on the cough centre in the brain, reducing the sensitivity of the reflex that triggers coughing.
• Unlike opioid antitussives (such as codeine), it works through a different, non-opioid pathway, so it carries a lower risk of dependence.
• It only suppresses the cough reflex - it does not act on histamine receptors and has no effect on allergy symptoms like sneezing or a runny nose.

Generally well tolerated at recommended use. Tell your doctor if any effect is severe or does not settle.

• Drowsiness or dizziness
• Nausea or mild stomach upset
• Occasional allergic skin reaction (rash, itching)
• Diarrhoea (uncommon)

• If you miss a dose of Butadryl Syrup, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep BUTADRYL SYP 100ML away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store BUTADRYL SYP 100ML at room temperature.

• **Understanding Butadryl Syrup:** Butadryl Syrup is primarily used to alleviate cough and cold symptoms. It often contains ingredients like an antihistamine (to reduce sneezing and runny nose) and a cough suppressant (to relieve coughing). Always check the label for the specific ingredients and their functions.
• **Dosage and Administration:** Adhere strictly to the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or indicated on the product label. Butadryl Syrup is usually administered orally. Use a measuring spoon or cup to ensure accurate dosage, especially for children. Avoid exceeding the recommended dose.
• **Potential Side Effects:** Be aware of potential side effects, such as drowsiness, dizziness, dry mouth, or blurred vision. These effects can vary from person to person. If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately. Avoid activities requiring alertness, like driving, until you know how Butadryl Syrup affects you.
• **Drug Interactions:** Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are taking before starting Butadryl Syrup. Certain medications can interact with Butadryl Syrup, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. This is crucial for avoiding harmful drug interactions.
• **Storage and Handling:** Store Butadryl Syrup in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Ensure that the syrup is out of reach of children and pets. Check the expiration date before each use, and discard any expired medication safely according to local regulations.

• While Butadryl Syrup 100 ml is generally safe, it's best to avoid taking it with large meals or foods high in fat. These can potentially delay the absorption of the medicine, which might slightly reduce its effectiveness. You can take it with a light snack if needed. Always follow your doctor's advice.
